Posted by: Johnson Francis on: 17 Sep, 2009

Right coronary angiogram in lateral view demonstrating significant narrowing of mid segment of right coronary artery (RCA). Right ventricular branches are seen just preceding the lesion and distally the RCA divides into posterior left ventricular branches (PLV or PLB) and posterior descending coronary artery (PDA). Dense calcification of the aortic valve is seen to the [...]

Right coronary angiogram in LAO view

Posted by: Johnson Francis on: 27 Jun, 2009

Full length of the right coronary artery is seen in a C shape in the left anterior oblique (LAO) view.

Right coronary angiogram

Right coronary angiogram showing conus branch, sinus node artery, right ventricular branches and posterior descending coronary artery (PDA). PDA has a mild lesion about 8 mm from its origin. Septal branches can be seen originating from the PDA. Posterior left ventricular branch (PLV) is occluded soon after its origin and is seen as [...]
